Solution
When a pair of contrasting characters is crossed then only one of the characters is expressed in Fj generation. This is called law of dominance. For example; when a homozygous tall plant (TT) is crossed with a homozygous short plant (tt), then all the plants of F1 generation are tall (Tt) because tallness is the dominant character.
